Install Issues

Postby Fieryphoenix » Sun May 29, 2011 4:50 pm

I got a new hard drive for my Pro, so before I installed it, I ran the oxnas-revert script. All went as expected.

Now with the new HD in place, when I run oxnas-install.sh it has errors.

First error:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# Checking board revision...
./oxnas-install.sh: line 55: syntax error: unexpected "fi" (expecting "then")')

This appears related to the two code sections starting on line 53

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'if [ "$BOARDVER" = "PPRO1" ]
PCI=1
fi
if [ "$BOARDVER" = "PPROHD1" ]
PCI=1
fi')

Not a huge obstacle, I know I have a Pro and the script reported PPRO1 when it ran, so I just delete that section and change line 52 to read

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'PCI=1')

Then I run into another snag. After extracting, the script just dumps to the command line. Well, that makes sense, because the code there is:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' echo "# Extracting"
tar xzf oxnas-rootfs.tar.gz
exit')

Now, I do not regularly work with scripts, but I tried anyway to see if I could get past this by first deleting

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'exit')

It then complained about missing or expecting a fi, so I then reasoned that perhaps fi had been meant where there was exit, so I put one in.

After that, the script passed along to the output

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Extraction FAILED or WRONG rootfs"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"')

no matter what further I did, so I tried to manually go through the steps, copying out of the script. When I tried

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'tar xzf oxnas-rootfs.tar.gz')

It said no such file, blah blah blah, so I ran

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'tar xzf /tmp/usb/oxnas-rootfs.tar.gz')

At that point extraction failed partway through reporting there was no free disk space left.

And now I am here. :D

Forgot to mention, verify that the rootfs is not full.... you dont want to see that happen on a reboot.

I think what was filling it was all in /tmp, with basically a fully copy of the extracted files from the script, and then I was extracting into the wrong directory when I did it myself. I did fail one reboot (from running reboot after I gave up), but then I powered everything off and rebooted fine. Right this instant df reports

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
ubi0:rootfs 104524 12596 91928 12% /
none 62880 16 62864 0% /tmp
/tmp/.cemnt/sda1 19228276 518588 17732940 3% /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sda1
')

Good, nice and stable :)

And this is exactly why I had it run from /tmp.

Is it necessary to run the revert script prior to moving to a new boot drive, or is there an alternative method?

The revert script has to be run from an operational install of Arch Linux ARM/ Arch Linux ARM. Sorry, but you have to have a working system to access the uboot variables.

I was busy earlier and don't think I read that right, but you started a new thread here where it was properly addressed anyways.
